I must admit, I was unjustly biased against this 26-year-old musician and designer; one of the artists who best manages to reset the now outdated and antiquated Italian musical canons.
Moreover, no one ever dared such boldness in embarking on an analysis of the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of human sexual behavior, at least not in such an explicit manner.
The monopolizing condition of Big Brother, I suppose, has prompted the VATE to an “computerized and evasive” attempt, exposing themselves to that civic target, initially not aligned in the face of such "impetuousness," and thus initially hypocritical, out of pure "Victorian propriety."
The objective in a purely artistic analysis was precisely to give new "lustre" by resurrecting the concept of "eros," if only in a cheeky and ironic manner, opposing that condition of interdiction and taboo imposed by our lovely media in the position of "fourth power."
Interview with the prince of Porn Groove on Tgcom:
"How was your video received by the music networks?"
"MTV, according to what my manager Jacopo Levantaci told me, rejected it because it was not in target."
Indeed, in our lovely country, on TV they can throw it in your face, but heaven forbid you approach any kind of discussion on the matter.
In short, was it my, our, stereotyped heterosexuality and homophobia that stood as a preconception against this artist?
Anyway, time and facts fully prove him right, malicious, ironic, and deliberately vulgar lyrics served by innovative and sophisticated post-80s pop arrangements, make this artist more than a singer a "researcher of essences" whose task is to get to the "bottom" of matters, in a simple and never banal way...in a direct way!
Interview with the prince of Porn Groove on Tgcom:
"With 'Touché par l'amour' are you distancing yourself from your musical past?"
"It is certainly a small stylistic turn. The sound reflects my identity and personality. Above all, I followed my personal taste with the desire for something more 'light.' Even if you read the lyrics of the single closely, it talks about female masturbation. In any case, until recently, I was in search of provocation, now that I have stronger shoulders, I seek fun."
Shocking enough, without bigotry and commercial TV pretentions the Casto Divo after years of web-celebrity, openly challenges mainstream pop with the track titled "Touché par l'amour" reserving a stylistic change, without falling into commercialism.
"Woody Allen says that while I masturbate, I'm making love to someone I truly love!"… NONSENSE!
A less explicit song that "touches" the female world as no "man" could ever do, just enough to make it all extremely seductive and "eurhythmic."
The VATE explores the female onanistic concept, dances and sings stylishly dressed and "cheeky," golden jacket and sneakers at the feet (and then they say fashion isn't gay), moves to the rhythm like he was the best Rick Astley in "Never Gonna Give You Up" or in the dance at 3 minutes 10’’ seems like Justin Timberlake featuring Keen..… They seem like the Pet Shop Boys!
"...WHEN THE DISCO BURNS, THE FIRE DEVOURS THE DANCE FLOOR! IT’S AN ONANISTIC THOUGHT THAT DESCENDS! DESCENDS! DESCENDS! DESCENDS!..."
Lunapark, bumper cars, soap bubbles, and cotton candy are some of the elements of the complex and intricate erotic and female onanistic imaginary characterizing the Lolita-video, with Immanuel himself directing the three seductive yet light muses (from erotic dreams) as the more inspired and eager Dita von Teese, within a spectacular as necessary trait d’union between music and video, all in perfect synergy.
Note the splendid hip movement of Giselle around the chair at 49” from the start of the video...very onanistic... Best regards.
